UNODC assists in the development of innovative and sustainable solutions to prevent and combat corruption, in accordance with the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). 

The adoption of the UNCAC represents a historic milestone as it reflects a shared commitment by countries to combat corruption. What makes the Convention unique is its comprehensive approach to combating corruption, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures, criminalization and law enforcement, international cooperation and asset recovery.

Based on its global vision and experience, UNODC also works to strengthen integrity and transparency in public procurement, strengthen public-private dialogue, develop integrity and adopt anti-corruption measures for the private sector, and protect whistleblowers.
